Dave, you may want to start tailwheel conversion on something simple, then build
up. Having completed my monowheel Europe classic in Kenya in 1999, I came to
UK for conversion. All my experience was on nosewheels (4000 hours Cessnas
and Pipers- mostly Cessna 206), so I started on a docile taildragger, the
Citabria,
at Compton Abbas (2 hours); then Supercub at Old Sarum (2 hours); then on
the PFA coaching scheme's instructor Air Vice Marshall John Brownlow on a
borrowed
Europa at Cambridge airport (3 hours and thanks to Tony Smythe for loan
of G-BWZT). John Brownlow is a very patient coach, and is still very active
in his retirement, saving kit plane builders from themselves at first flight
stage...
You might want to contact him.
Best
Richard
Kenya Classic, 5Y-LRY
